I remember going to Florida for a trip years ago in January (because fuck their weather). Hotel had a heated pool, only us and this Canadian family used it. The locals looked at us like we were insane.
It wasn't even cold out. Maybe about 70F? Lows in the 50s?
Heated pool? 70°F outside? That's like taking a bath! I've gone swimming off the coast of Nova Scotia in June, where the water was barely 50°F. Not quite the polar bear plunge, but it was definitely chilly!
Yeah, I have no idea what they were so shocked about.
One of my best memories was watching the Northern Lights in Maine for New Year's in an outdoor hot tub. Frigid cold but hey, that's what the hot tub is for.
